-The only reason I would have transferred in Pool players, is on the basis of having this extra game.

You ignore the fact that next 2 games are QPR and Wigan after a dgw then. I agree that it's ill-advisable to take a points hit for a one-off extra game. However, everybody has a free transfer every week and this week I used mine on a Liverpool player, because they have a dgw followed by back-to-back fixtures against relegation battlers (both of which I expect to go down).

I don't know why you would be fretting about "transferring out Liverpool deadwood afterwards", what's the harm in playing them against QPR or Wigan afterward? I personally think that they've had a couple of losses in a row now and this run of fixtures is actually ideal for them to do something and ideal to have a couple of Liverpool players in your fantasy team. Each to their own of course, but it seems shortsighted to think you'd just be transferring in then out again straight away.

No Lescott? wtf... I only transferred him in for Kompany :mad:

Did Swansea miss a peno ?

Yeah. Sinclair missed it, Hart saved it.

How Soon Is Now

No Nani or Aguero glad i got rid of the latter and stayed away from the first.

Need Rooney and Evans to do something nice

Young looking quite good last couple of games by the way including this one.

thunderdog

I thought I had my fair share of negative points last week with Sess and Ba (c), but looking like another great week with Sinclair missing the peno. Like a few of the posters above I'm also hitting a rough patch :rolleyes:

Mr Moon

Rooney!!

How Soon Is Now

Rooney for United Hernandez with assist.

FatRat

Rooney's the man Aguero on for City on the 36th minute. Barry off for him.

Rooney is heading for 3 bps today i reckon,6 if captained....

carlcon

Anyone watching the Swansea/City game? Do Swansea look like holding them off? Could do with the 12 points that will come if they do.

They did in the first half but right now, since Aguero came on and Toure moved into his better position, they are all over Swansea. Can easily see a goal or two from City.

FatRat

Olsson sent off for WBA. United should hit a few more in now with him gone.

Jax Teller

Rooney goal . Assist by young . Peno

How Soon Is Now

Peno for Rooney and he scores!!!

Young won it.

FatRat

I'm sickened i didn't captain Rooney now! Ah well, that's how the game goes! I'm happy with the 13 points he'll end up with.

carlcon

Bringing in Young and Roo this week is looking like the first good decision I've made in a couple of months.

Of course, I didn't captain Rooney. That would be too much of a turnaround for my luck. :rolleyes:

RVP hat trick tomorrow! (Or just don't play)

Amirani

Captain choice on Rooney looks to be my first good one in a couple of weeks. Badly need a City goal as 2nd place in my private league has Vorm and Williams.

FatRat

Swansea score

carlcon

Fingers crossed Swansea's goal doesn't lead to some City inspiration.

FatRat

Micah richards scores but guess what? It's offside. That is absolutely fantastic. :mad:

Aguero can go f*ck. Came on for a point when I would have had Williams coming off the bench with 6.

Tosspot of a week. Hate this game sometimes

carlcon

Full time!

Vorm and Taylor do it again. Players of the season!

iMuse

Rooney (c) and vorm finally sees some decent points on the board this week.

Devia

What an immense defensive display by Swansea. So annoyed to have Vorm and Williams on the bench but there wouldn't be many taking that punt so no worries. Other than that delighted City lost and I captained Rooney.

manual_man

Rooney and Evans do the job. Now just need VP to under perform and Suarez to actually score

Professional Griefer

Rooney captain. Delighted, jones with a nice 6 points as well.

Taylor on the bench, with Ba and R. Taylor left to play, 43 ain't too bad..

WoollyRedHat

Damnit, Caulker on bench, Lescott didn't play, but he is at number two....

Will he have to come on though, because even though I have Chamberlain placed to come on, I will be left with only two defenders, so what's the situation there?

Jax Teller

Hoolahan goal . Not sure who assisted it

Richards' goal being disallowed cost me 17 points in my bid to catch the leader in my main league.


This game :mad:

Was it a dodgy decision, or just annoying in FF terms?

It was right decision so don't be too annoyed .

FatRat

Oh no, it was the right decision but say he had been an extra few inches deeper, it wouldn't have been offside or if the lines(wo)man had missed it it woulda been a goal.


Ye know what I mean. Small little things can make a huge difference in the games, therefore it is very annoying. If it had been a goal (which it could have easily been) then Swansea's clean sheet would be gone and I'd have a goal from Richards.

And your main league rival would be lividly posting on some other forum claiming how unlucky he was to see a 17 point swing in his lead.

He'd probably have more justification to do so too.

Your defender will come in to make 3, ahead of any midfielder/striker.

Yeah, Caulker will come in.

No complaining if Chamberlain goes on to score 15 points tomorrow though.

I know, but it would be typical

Moses goal!

carlcon

Surman off for Pilkington. That'll please/annoy a few.

Amirani

42 with 3 left too play. Most importantly though it looks like I'll well outscore those in my private leagues this gameweek.

Fowler87

Thank **** for that moses goal!

How Soon Is Now

Haha deadly didnt know Moses scored till now nice surprise

35 points with bonus points and 3 players including captain Van Persie not as bad as things where looking so far anyway ha.

Ha i needed alot more after my crazy 8 point hit this week! But at least moses came good a week later after bringing him in

Shane732

I'm the only one of the top 6 in my money league that has Rooney....

Just hoping Suarez doesn't knock in a couple against Everton.....
